Carte Magic Cleon, Merry Champion

Cleon, Merry Champion is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Double strike Heroic — Whenever you cast a spell that targets Cleon, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card until the end of your next turn.

How it works : Cleon, Merry Champion

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Cleon's second ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played with the permission granted by Cleon's last ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
